Creamy Corn Casserole

Creamy Corn Casserole

Creamy Corn Casserole is a comforting and delicious baked dish combining sweet corn, cream cheese, sour cream, cheese, and cornmeal into a smooth, cheesy casserole perfect for family meals or special occasions.

  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal or Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack), divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray for easy release after baking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk gently until smooth and fully incorporated, creating the creamy base.
  3. Add dry ingredients and corn: Add sugar, cornmeal or Jiffy mix, salt, and pepper to the wet mixture and stir to blend evenly. Fold in the corn kernels and half of the shredded cheese, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer and top: Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.
  5. Bake to perfection: Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the casserole is set and the top is lightly browned. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn for a more vibrant flavor and better texture than canned.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb texture.
  • Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it firm up.
  • For extra crunch, add crushed crackers or breadcrumbs on top before baking.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature for consistent results.
